Prince George’s County wants to improve its facilities for sheltering single men who are experiencing homelessness. However, officials’ renewed focus on building a new men’s shelter next to the newest and most expensive residential development in the Addison Road Metro Station area is causing residents a huge amount of heartburn.

How do we balance Prince George's County's moral responsibility to provide human services to its neediest residents with the market reality that placing such facilities in the wrong locations could stifle redevelopment around our Metro stations?
